I just can’t get enough of inter-species love !!!! If animals that are so hugely different can build bonds all the time, it just seems like it should be easier for us humans to also. As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one race — the human race.

Thanks again Daniela for anothother perfect post!!

A wonderful example of unconditional love without fail. So sweet and lovely.

Oh I’m late with commenting today – and everyone has said it all :-) Wonderful post! But here I am worrying that the tortoise will obviously outlive the dog by many, many years. I hope he gets another companion then.

It’s true. I always feel sad when I think how short are dogs’lives, especially large ones. But hopefully they will have a great time together, whatever that time is. After all, that’s how it works for everyone. We have to enjoy what we have, and we never know how much time it is. So… carpe diem!! :-D

Guppy was actually born at the Rescue as one of 8 puppies from the mother Great Dane who was rescued from a puppy mill, already pregnant. Crouton the tortoise loved all of the puppies and has been with them since the beginning. Janice kept Guppy and don’t worry, as many animals as this wonderful rescue has, Crouton will always have friends.
